I flip through a Glamour magazine while curled up on the couch with a hot drink, take a long hot shower, paint my nails, and make mashed potatoes. There's nothing more comforting than mashed potatoes!
baths. I have bath bombs from Lush and I loooooove them! I find getting a pedicure to be more relaxing than doing my own. when it's my own, I feel like it's just a necessary part of grooming. getting my hair cut feels pampering to me. it's having someone else mess with my hair. I LOVE when people play with my hair. unfortunately, they're too short and too far apart.
I like to shop but I don't get to very often anymore. I'd love a pedicure but I always feel like there's other stuff that needs done.
I always feel like a pedicure is a "waste" of time because you're basically stuck there until it's done and dry. Add in drive time there and back and it's seems like a huge chunk out of my day for something so small. I try to take a book with me so I feel at least somewhat productive.
All of the stuff that has been mentioned! Long showers, especially when I'm in a hotel and someone else is paying the water bill. Curled up with a book and either coffee or red wine. Sometimes pampering myself means taking the time to go to my favorite exercise class (40+ minute roundtrip plus a hour workout...it's a time suck for sure!)
